Sausage And Apple Stuffing Casserole
You may use fresh sliced mushrooms that have been sauteed in butter in place of canned. If you are planning to serve more than 8 people then prepare two separate recipes and bake in two dishes --- i use all of a 400 gram french bread that amount works perfectly for this recipe --- add in chopped cooked carrots or peas to the stuffing mixture if desired, i have even added in cooked chopped bacon along with the sausage! This is a fantastic stuffing casserole!
